The flip phone-era is still not dead, at least, in the case of Samsung that officially unveiled a premium flip phone called the Samsung W2019. It is an upgrade from W2018 that was launched a year ago.
The Samsung W2019 had dual AMOLED screens measured at 4.2-inch FHD resolution. This enables you to have a screen on the front and another one when you flip out. There is also a physical T9 keyboard and a fingerprint sensor on the side.
> Samsung W2018 flip phone price at $2,400 USD
Powering the Samsung W2019 is a Snapdragon 845 octa-core processor and 6GB RAM with storage options ranging from 128GB to 256GB. Meanwhile, the camera setup is a dual sensor with variable aperture similar to the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.
Sadly, the Samsung W2019 is a China-exclusive device and will be available before the end of the year. The pricing is also unknown but it is expected to be priced similar to the W2018 which was launched at $2,400 USD or roughly P120,000 Philippine pesos.
